rollerblading the Waimea Canyon

It was a great day! I camped out with Vicky in the Canyon the past few days! It was really amazing! I wanted a change of scenery and there were lots of things and places to experience. I wanted to rollerblade down the canyon toady! I heard it's a wild wild ride about 20 miles extreme downhill!!! I have seen some flyers of bike downhill tours. I stopped by at the gift shop to find out some info. The biking tours start outside of the park boundaries but since I was doing it my way --on my own, I can start even in the park and have a longer ride! yay! It was a super fun ride! The views of the canyon were just magnificent!!! I got to the junction -- I could either go on the super wild downhill road or the super super wild downhill road with crazy curves right along the rim of the canyons. You know which one I chose. I started on the super super one... the curves were more than I ever experienced! I'll admit I was scared! The road was too a bit rocky! I dared myself to the next curve and then the next.. but then my brakes were almost worn out to the limit.. I didn't have enough braking surface area on my brake pad and the speeds and curves were so above my control.. I wanted to continue on the most extreme downhill road of my life but I think it was pushing too much.. and got a ride for the next few extreme rocky sharp downhill turns.. I then got off and skated the next few miles into town where I met Vicky again. She had a great food treat -- longgones -- they were delicious! It was the first time I had them.

let go of the list stop running.. enjoy what you have now.. hanalei pier beach waipio valleypolo
